Insurance Companies Are Accepting Marijuana Usage

Legal-marijuana

A friend of mine always reminds me, “No facts in the future.”   When I grew up as a teenager, society often considered people who smoked marijuana and hash as stoners.

In my Insurance career, I have come to know that Insurance Companies are very conservative.  The fact that they have accepted marijuana and hash usage is a huge step forward and shows the broadening of their awareness.  They have included, if you smoke tobacco, nicotine or e-cigarettes you will still receive smoker rates.

I have attached the announcement from Empire Life that speaks to the change.  Almost all Insurance Companies have adopted this new policy.

If you would like to look at making changes to your existing Life, Critical Illness or Disability Insurance please contact Glendinning Insurance Services.
